Legacy VoyagerCG MS9540 USB Scanner Kits Identified by MK9540 Part Numbers

Honeywell MK9540 VoyagerCG USB Barcode Scanner The Honeywell MK9540 designation is associated with historical kit configurations of the Honeywell / Metrologic VoyagerCG MS9540 single-line 1D laser barcode scanner.

Rather than treating “MK9540” as an entirely different scanner from the MS9540, buyers should check the complete MK9540 part number, because different suffixes identify different scanner colours, interfaces, cables, stands and kit configurations.

For example, documented configurations include MK9540-32A38, MK9540-37A38, MK9540-77A38, MK9540-37A47 and MK9540-37C41, among others.

Important Product Status

The VoyagerCG 9540 family is a discontinued legacy product.

This page is maintained to help UAE customers identify older MK9540 / MS9540 VoyagerCG configurations, understand USB and other interface variants, and evaluate replacement requirements.

Understanding MK9540 vs MS9540

This distinction is useful when searching for replacement equipment.

MS9540 generally identifies the VoyagerCG 9540 scanner/model family.

MK9540-xxxxx can identify complete historical configurations or kits incorporating an MS9540 scanner together with specified interfaces, cables, stands or related components.

For example:

MK9540-32A38
Documented as a black MS9540 VoyagerCG USB kit including an MS9540 scanner, stand, coiled low-speed USB direct cable and documentation.

MK9540-37A38
Documented as a black VoyagerCG 9540 USB kit containing scanner, stand, USB Type-A cable and documentation.

MK9540-77A38
Documented as a light-grey Voyager 9540 USB kit with scanner, stand, USB cable and documentation.

Therefore, customers searching MK9540 should ideally provide the complete part number.

Key Features of the VoyagerCG MS9540 Platform

• Single-line laser barcode scanning
• Designed for conventional 1D barcodes
• CodeGate™ data-transmission control
• Automatic triggering
• Handheld operation
• In-stand scanning
• USB configurations available
• Other historical interface configurations available
• Multiple kit and colour variants
• Legacy Metrologic / Honeywell Voyager family

CodeGate™ Technology

The MS9540 VoyagerCG incorporates CodeGate technology.

The scanner detects and decodes a barcode, while CodeGate allows the operator to control when the decoded data is transmitted to the connected host.

This can be useful when selecting a specific barcode from several codes positioned near each other.

The VoyagerCG was historically used for applications including point of sale, document processing, inventory and menu scanning.

USB HID Configurations

Some MK9540 kits were specifically configured for USB connectivity.

For example, MK9540-32A38 is documented as an MS9540 Voyager USB configuration with USB HID, stand and Type-A USB connection.

This does not mean every MK9540 has USB.

Other documented configurations include keyboard-wedge and RS-232 variants.

For this reason, the complete part number should always be checked before purchasing a legacy replacement.

Example MK9540 Part Numbers

MK9540-32A38
Black MS9540 VoyagerCG USB kit.

MK9540-37A38
Black VoyagerCG 9540 USB kit with stand and USB cable.

MK9540-77A38
Light-grey Voyager 9540 USB kit with stand and USB cable.

MK9540-37A47
Black keyboard-wedge kit.

MK9540-77A47
Light-grey keyboard-wedge kit.

MK9540-37C41
Black RS-232 kit with stand, cable and power supply in the documented configuration.

MK9540-77C41
Light-grey RS-232 kit with documented EU power supply, stand and cable.

These examples are useful for identification and should not be interpreted as confirmation that NEOTECH® currently stocks each configuration.

Barcode Capability

The VoyagerCG MS9540 platform is intended for conventional 1D barcode scanning.

Historical configurations support standard linear barcode symbologies and GS1 DataBar/RSS families.

It Is Not a General 2D Scanner

The MS9540/MK9540 should not be advertised for:

• QR Code
• Data Matrix
• PDF417
• General-purpose 2D imaging

If these barcode types are required, select an appropriate 2D imaging scanner.

Why the Complete Part Number Matters

For a discontinued product, searching only for “MK9540” can create confusion.

Two units may belong to the same VoyagerCG family while having different:

• Interfaces
• Cables
• Colours
• Power requirements
• Stands
• Host configurations

Therefore, a customer replacing an old scanner should ideally send us a photograph of the product label showing the complete Honeywell/Metrologic part number.

That is safer than assuming compatibility from “MK9540” alone.

Typical Legacy Applications

Depending on the existing system and configuration, the MS9540 platform was used for:

• Retail POS barcode scanning
• Inventory identification
• Library barcode scanning
• Document processing
• Menu scanning
• Product identification
• Existing 1D barcode systems

These are application examples, not claims of universal software compatibility.

Compatibility Guidance

We should not claim that a discontinued MK9540 configuration will automatically work with every modern computer or POS system.

Before replacing an existing scanner, verify:

• Complete MK9540 part number
• Scanner model
• USB / RS-232 / keyboard-wedge interface
• Cable
• Host connection
• Required barcode formats
• POS or application software
• Operating-system requirements
• Stand requirements

Discontinued Product Guidance

The VoyagerCG 9540 family has reached end-of-life/discontinued status.

Remaining products in the market may therefore vary in:

• Availability
• Product condition
• Packaging
• Accessories
• Cable configuration
• Warranty status

These details should be confirmed for the actual unit being offered.

For a completely new deployment, a current scanner may be more appropriate.

Replacement Options

Replacement selection should be based on the actual application rather than simply replacing the model number.

Depending on requirements, current alternatives may include scanners intended for:

1D-only applications
Where conventional linear barcode scanning remains sufficient.

1D + 2D applications
Where QR Code, Data Matrix, PDF417 or modern screen scanning is required.

Various sellers identify current Honeywell Voyager-family alternatives such as the Voyager 1200g, Voyager 1400g and Voyager XP 1470g for discontinued VoyagerCG configurations, although the correct replacement depends on the original interface and application.

Buyer Guidance

If you already have an MK9540 scanner, send the complete part number before selecting a replacement.

For example:

MK9540-32A38

is substantially more useful for compatibility identification than simply:

MK9540

This allows the scanner, interface and original kit configuration to be researched more accurately.

Purpose of Use

This product family was designed for 1D barcode data capture in compatible host systems.

Today, MK9540 configurations are most relevant for:

• Existing equipment identification
• Legacy replacement requirements
• Spare-unit searches
• Interface matching
• Migration planning

FAQ

Q: Are Honeywell MK9540 and MS9540 the same product?
A: MK9540 appears in historical part numbers for VoyagerCG 9540 kits based on the MS9540 scanner. The complete MK9540 part number can identify a particular interface, colour, cable and kit configuration.

Q: Is the Honeywell MK9540 discontinued?
A: Yes. Documented MK9540 VoyagerCG configurations are discontinued legacy products. Remaining availability and configuration should therefore be confirmed individually.

Q: Does every MK9540 scanner use USB?
A: No. USB MK9540 configurations exist, but documented keyboard-wedge and RS-232 kits also exist. Always check the complete part number rather than assuming the interface.
